Well, Kinect has been shown and contrary to what Rare said, it seems there is no way to play FPS with this thing. And no way to play any game where you need to move a character in a game in a 3D space.

The only reason I play FPS other than Halo, is because of the controls. I like pointing, I like shooting.

PS3 and Move sounds like a great place to play FPS as it has great graphics and potentially great controls. At the moment there is minimal move support, I'm not and will never buy a 3rd system per generation. Even if I did have one I wouldn't pay $150 or whatever it is for a controller and then another £40 for a game.

360 has great shooters with old dual analogue controls, I can't handle that anymore, it feels like I'm caught in a loop playing the same games in an auto-assisted world.  

PC has good controls and graphics but I'm a laptop guy. I like the mouse, but hate the keyboard and then all the other problems of PC gaming i.e getting things to work, patches et al.

So it leaves me in this FPS ghetto, playing sub-standard wii shooters, just because I like the instinctive and accurate way controls are presented. As a Wii60 owner this is what I'm left with. And even today with Move and Natal out there, games like COD Black Ops only have IR support on Wii.

I feel like I'm missing the graphics on the Wii, in this graphics driven genre, and missing the controls on the HD systems. Ugh. Sad

Move, the answer to all your problems. Happy

Thats why I want it.

And you aren't stuck, at least you have a working HD console. I have a Wii with almost none of the good games that have come out lately cause I chose to buy PS3 games. Now what do I do. Almost my entire backlog is on the PS3 (which includes PS2).

You like pointing and shooting at things? 

How about you grow some balls and buy Sin and Punishment 2?

The buying part is the issue. I happen to have about $30 in my pocket but I should save that for other stuff but knowing me I will blow it off on some game. Sorry RS2 is higher on my list. If you would like to lend me S&P2 that would be sweet.  In fact I am taking all offers, lend me your Wii games I will lend you my PS3 games. Shipping will have to be worked out.

 I was talking to GG you useless clod. You don't even have a hacked Wii, how the hell would you play Pal games? And are you seriously in spending 100+ bucks on Move? You can buy like 10 3rd party wii games for that price.

If I have money I will for sure get Move. I can finally play some awesome shooters with Wii controls.

You aren't that crazy, there are a ton of people that feel the same way.

Move isn't the answer to anything. Seriously, motionplus is how much? $15 That was a barrier, $130-150 for Move is a joke.

You should take the opportunity to buy some decent Wii games.

Because if I grew some balls your mouth would be permanently attached to my crotch, Buttercup.

The better alternative for me is if they actually made some more Wii exclusive shooters like Red Steel and Goldeneye.

I have no problems with the graphics of games like Metroid Prime 3 or Red Steel 2. It's only when they try to down port HD games or try to make games on a shoestring budget when it bites.
